The writing in Ink, Blood, and Linseed Oil details and expounds Williams' observations of the art world, and its nuances and contradictions. He reflects on the nature of art and being an artist, and the politics, sociology and anthropology surrounding it all.
In the early 1990s, Robert Williams persuaded the publisher of skateboard magazine Thrasher to start an art magazine. Juxtapoz magazine launched in 1994 and shook the art world establishment by presenting the popular underground out with museum shows and in with street art, comix, tattooing, erotic photography, figurative painting, illustration, and more. These art forms were celebrated, and the magazine found a wide and hungry audience. With each issue came an insightful editorial, penned by the godfather of lowbrow, Mr. Bitchin himself, Robert Williams.
These essays, 22 years' worth and a few more, are collected in Ink, Blood, and Linseed Oil. They are presented for your enjoyment, bewilderment, and for furtherance of the discussion of the philosophy of art.
'This treasure of Juxtapoz introductions will quicken the senses, dazzle with details, and captivate with their depth ... Williams is not afraid to let us all in on the secret.' - Gwynned Vitello, from the Introduction
'... Williams and his art are born of a uniquely California confluence of cultural phenomena: car culture, alternative comics, skateboarding, animation, pornography and the entertainment industry.' - Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times
'The wicked humor and wisdom in Robert's paintings, drawings and sculptures snatch attention, then beguile with depth.' - Juxtapoz
